Polaris Slingshot Could be This Summer’s Hottest Toy

An intriguing new toy from Polaris will debut later this month. It’s called the Polaris Slingshot, and details so far are slim, limited to a short 15-second teaser video shown below.Polaris is best known for its lineup of snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and side-by-sides. But a teaser photo (and the Slingshot’s badge featuring a three-pointed star) provides a good hint that Polaris is set to debut a three-wheeled, two-passenger racer that should provide lightweight, on-road thrills.The video teases a few bits like the gear shifter and the steering wheel, as well as the rowdy-sounding engine. Again, no details on what that engine might be. One possibility could be the mill powering the Polaris RZR XP 1000 side-by-side, a twin-cylinder, 1.0-liter engine that makes 107 hp. That said, the Polaris Slingshot would need much more power to compete with the Ariel Atom and KTM X-Bow, both of which can be had with close to 300 hp.We’ll find out what it is soon enough, perhaps even before its expected July 27 launch date. Polaris plans to reveal three more teaser videos, releasing them one at a time each Monday of this month, so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out the first video below.Source: Polaris

I just hope they have an affordable base version. But judging by how much ATV's, etc have gone up in the past few years, I doubt that it will be under 20k. I guess I'll have to wait for the Elio vapor car to show up...

ATV prices go up because they keep adding stuff to them... a simple 4x4 machine has to now have many hidden storage compartments. pre wired accessory plugins, power steering, engine braking, an alternator that can run a small house.
